How do I contact the shelter about Louisa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Louisa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Louisa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Louisa already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Louisa isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Louisa and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Louisa

European Shorthair · Female

I am Louisa, a somewhat shy young cat with a big heart. That's me: I am friendly and loving, but need a bit of time to feel safe. In unfamiliar situations, I am more cautious and if I feel pressured or held, I might react. However, with some patience and a few treats, a lot can be achieved with me – food is a good way to my heart. I especially enjoy crunching small treats and I am happy with people who don't push me into anything, but rather give me the chance to build trust at my own pace. I wish for a quiet home without small children. I would love to have free roam, but in the right situation, it could also work in a spacious apartment (preferably with a secured balcony). Whether I would also live with other girls would depend on that. Of course, my animal caretakers will advise you on that. Do you have a wonderful spot in your home and a place in your heart for me?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Ich bin Louisa eine etwas vorsichtige junge Katze mit großem Herzen. Das bin ich: Ich bin zutraulich und lieb, brauche aber etwas Zeit, um mich sicher zu fühlen. In unbekannten Situationen bin ich eher unsicher und wenn ich bedrängt oder festgehalten werde, kann ich schon mal reagieren. Mit Ruhe, Geduld und ein paar Leckerlis lässt sich bei mir jedoch viel erreichen – Futter ist ein guter Weg zu meinem Herzen. Besonders gern knuspere ich kleine Leckerbissen und freue mich über Menschen, die mich nicht zu etwas drängen, sondern mir die Möglichkeit geben, Vertrauen in meinem eigenen Tempo aufzubauen. Ich wünsche mir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder. Am liebsten wäre mir Freigang, aber bei einer passenden Konstellation könnte es auch in einer geräumigen Wohnung klappen (gern mit gesichertem Balkon). Davon wäre dann auch abhängig, ob ich auch mit anderen Miezen zusammenleben möchte. Meine Tierpfleger:innen beraten dich dazu natürlich. Hast du ein tolles Plätzchen in deinem Zuhause und im Herzen für mich? Melde dich gern über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Garfield-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Louisa

What life with Louisa looks like

Louisa is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
